FLIR C3/C5 Educational Thermal Camera Kit
Thermal Cameras for the Classroom
FLIR’s C3 and C5 Thermal Imaging Cameras provide an engaging, interesting and easy way of teaching students about temperature, thermal properties and heat transfer. They are effective teaching tools and help to convey challenging ideas about energy through the visualisation of heat. The FLIR C3 and C5 Thermal Imaging Cameras offer great opportunities for practical, though-provoking lessons.
Features
Fully Radiometric Image
Per pixel temperature measurement allows students to see how changes across the thermal palette correspond to real-life temperatures.
Live Video Streaming
By connecting the FLIR C3/C5 via WiFi to a computer, tablet or TV, every student in the classroom can see captured thermal images and data.
Intuitive and Easy-To-Use
A touchscreen and clear buttons make the FLIR C3/C5 easy to operate for all ages.

Lesson Guides
Lesson 1:
Friction
The FLIR C3/C5 Thermal Imaging Cameras can be used to gather visual and quantifiable evidence of heat created by friction. Using the FLIR C3/C5 Thermal Cameras, students can view and measure the heat generated by rubbing their hands together.
Eraser Test
Students rub an eraser on the desk and use the FLIR C3/C5 to view and measure the resultant heat.
Ice Test
After conducting the eraser test, students rub an ice cube over the same area of the desk. The Flir C3/C5 Thermal Cameras are then used to view and quantify the cooling effect.
Lesson 2:
Material Properties
Heat transfer, as well as material insulation and conductance, can be taught by asking students to hold wooden spoons, plastic rulers and metal strips; the degree of heat transfer is viewed using the FLIR C3/C5 Thermal Imaging Cameras.
Thermal Insulators & Conductors
The aforementioned test provides a clear way of teaching students the difference between conductive and insulative materials.
Knife Test
As the FLIR C3/C5 may be connected to a computer, TV or tablet, students can safely view the effects of heat conductance while the teacher performs the aforementioned test using a kitchen knife.
Lesson 3:
The Cup Test
The cup test also conveys ideas about heat transference, conductivity and insulation in an easy and interactive way.
Visualising Heat
The FLIR C3/C5 Thermal Cameras are used to monitor and compare the changes in temperature of plastic and ceramic cups.
Once a hot liquid has been added, students will see, via the FLIR C3/C5 Thermal Cameras, that although the plastic cup heats up faster it also loses its heat more quickly; whereas the ceramic cup retains the heat of the liquid for longer despite heating up more slowly than its plastic counterpart.
